WARNING: Blood + Character death

Kol Mikaelson was sitting on a chair next to the bed that held Bonnie's now lifeless body. Anger and sadness welled up in him as he watched her. There was no movement, no steady up and down of her chest as she breathed, no beating of her heart. No nothing.

The young Original was angry at himself; he had one thing to do. One thing. Keep Bonnie safe. From the moment he met her to the moment he fell in love with her he made a promise that he would never let anything bad happen to her ever again and he failed that mission. He broke that promise.

He wanted to save her; he tried everything in his power but by the time he got to her it was too late.

They had already gotten to her. A quick snap of her delicate neck put an end to her near eighteen years on this earth. Too short a life she lived and she never lived it for herself until she met him. He made sure that she stopped putting her life at risk for her ungrateful friends. He made sure that she started to live for herself, he taught her to enjoy life.

The two lovers had been in Paris when Bonnie got the call from her doppelganger friend, Elena. Another threat had once again reared its head in Mystic Falls and they once again had Bonnie drop everything and run to their aid.

Kol had tried everything to talk his beloved out of it. He begged, pleaded and even tried getting Rebekah to talk some sense into her but nothing worked. Once her mind was made up about something, it was final. There was nothing he could do to change that.

When they arrived in Mystic Falls, Bonnie had jumped straight into action. Performing spells left, right and centre for her friends. Kol just stood back as he watched her work her magic, glaring daggers at everyone that wasn't her.

He had caused quite a large argument with the group when he made a sarcastic remark when the doppelganger asked for yet another spell the next day. As if Bonnie hadn't already done enough for them. Bonnie of course didn't see it that way.

"I'm just happy they are talking to me again," she told Kol, as she tried to calm him down.

Elena and Caroline had stopped talking to Bonnie once she and Kol had revealed their relationship. It devastated Bonnie and for weeks Kol tried everything to cheer her up about it but lucky for him, Bonnie found friendship with an unlikely source, his sister Rebekah.

He had never been so grateful for his sister before.

"Kol!" Rebekah's voice sounded throughout the house. Her voice was desperate and filled with concern.

He never answered her; she'd know where to find him.

"Oh, no," she whispered when she found him, next to Bonnie. A dead Bonnie. "What happened?" She demanded as she came closer.

"It once again came down to the doppelganger," Kol answered with a bitter laugh. Everything in this damned world came down to the doppelganger. "Before I could even get there, they had already killed her. Damon and Stefan."

Behind him Rebekah had let out a deep growl at the mention of the doppelganger. There was no love lost between those two girls and right now, Rebekah had never wanted that girl dead as much as she did right now.

"She has your blood in her system, right?" Rebekah asked him, a little hopeful.

Kol nodded his head. "That's not going to make a difference, Bekah and you know it. She's not going to complete the transformation. She'll refuse."

"Are you okay?" she asked him, concerned.

"I don't want to lose her, Bekah," his voice cracked. "I can't lose her."

"I know, brother," she said and stood beside his seating form, letting him rest his head against her as they waited for Bonnie to wake up.

They didn't have to wait much longer, about an hour later Bonnie had awoken from her 'sleeping' state with a loud gasp, followed by some heavy breathing.

Both Kol and Rebekah had leaped from their seats and came closer to her, Kol automatically taking her in his arms and kissing the top of her head.

"What happened?" Bonnie croaked out as she looked around at the two Originals who shared matching looks before Kol spoke.

"Love, you died." From his time with Bonnie, Kol had learnt that Bonnie hated when people weren't straight forward with her. She hated it when they tried to beat around the bush.

Bonnie's expression went from confused to stunned to devastated all in the matter of seconds when realisation hit her. "I'm a…" she couldn't even bring herself to say the word.

"Not yet. You're in transition." Rebekah spoke up, taking a seat next to her on the bed. "It's up to you whether you want to complete it or not."

"What happened?" She asked again. "How did this happen?"

"That hunter had made Damon and Stefan kill you or Elena would have been killed," Kol replied bitterly, spitting out each name with complete disgust and hatred.

Bonnie's face fell upon hearing that, "what?" she asked in a small voice.

"I'm so sorry, Bonnie. I should have been there to protect you but I wasn't." Kol growled out with clenched fists. He needed to kill something. He needed to relieve this tension somehow.

Bonnie got up from her bed and wrapped her arms around Kol, burying her face in his neck and breathing in his comforting scent. "It's not your fault," Bonnie mumbled into his neck. "It's theirs," she added.

Bonnie couldn't say that she felt surprised by this revelation; she knew that if it ever came down to her or Elena, Elena would walk out alive. That's just the way things seem to be around here. But none of that stopped the betrayal that she felt.

"I love you, Bonnie," Kol said as he held her tightly to him, afraid to let her go. "We could have forever together."

"I love you too, Kol but you know that I can't turn. It never ends well for witches. I mean, look what happened to my mother." Bonnie said pulling away from Kol with tears rimming her eyes.

"But you would have Bekah and I to help you through this. Nothing could go wrong," he pleaded with her, hands cupping her face.

"He's right, Bonnie. We can make it so you never have to harm someone," Bekah said from the other side of the room.

Bonnie looked between Rebekah and Kol. Those two had pretty much been her life over the last six months, they were all she had. They had helped her through so much and she loved them both dearly. The thought of leaving them hurt her but she couldn't turn. She just couldn't.

Kol, already knowing her answer from the look she was giving them turned on his heel and stormed out of her room and out of the house. He wasn't going to listen to her make the decision to die.

"Don't worry about him. He'll be back soon," Rebekah said as she wrapped Bonnie in her arms, letting the much younger girl cry on her shoulder. "Watching you make this decision isn't easy for him," Rebekah said as they sat on the bed.

"It's not easy for me to make either, but I can't become a vampire. I just can't," Bonnie replied through her tears. "I don't want to die."

Rebekah held Bonnie close as she cried onto the vampires shoulder.

This was not how she was meant to die.

Bonnie was up in her room alone, she had been waiting for over an hour for Kol to return but he still hasn't. Rebekah had left her for a minute to make her some tea when Bonnie heard her yelling downstairs. "Kol, what the hell are you doing!" There was no answer from Kol. "Kol, don't do this!"

Bonnie could hear the thumping of heavy footsteps coming up the stairs and making their way to her room. Both Rebekah and Kol crashed through and Bonnie's eyes widened when she saw Elena being held by Kol.

"Kol if you do this she'll never forgive you," Rebekah told him firmly.

"What is going on?" Bonnie demanded as she looked from a distraught Rebekah to a furious Kol to a dazed Elena and if Bonnie wasn't mistaken, Elena had been compelled.

Kol turned to Bonnie, his eyes burning into hers. "I refuse to lose you, Bonnie. This is her fault this is happening," he replied and held up Elena. "It's only fair that she fixes it." Kol tossed Elena onto the bed, in front of Bonnie.

"Kol!" Rebekah shouted out in a warning tone but he ignored her and sat next to Bonnie on the bed, arm going around her shoulder as he leant down to her ear.

"Everything that has happened has been because of her, the death of your Grams, your mother and your friends." He whispered into her ear, his eyes on her while she was staring at Elena. Kol knew what he was doing was despicable. He was taking advantaging of her vulnerable and slightly delirious state to get what he wanted. "If it weren't for her, you'd have your Grams and you would have your mother. Your mother would never have left you if it weren't for Elena."

Bonnie's gaze moved from Elena onto Kol. "I love you, Bonnie…and I don't want you to die. There are so many wonderful things you have yet to experienced and she took that away from you," he said, casting a disgusted look towards the Doppelganger before softening and moving back to Bonnie. "Stay with me and Rebekah. Stay with those who love you for you and not for what you are. Us."

As Kol was talking, Rebekah was moving closer, kneeling on the end of the bed, behind a still compelled and dazed Elena. "We care for you Bonnie. We will help you through this better than anyone else could," she said softly to her best friend.

She may have been against Kol turning Bonnie a little while ago, but she was on board now. Especially if it meant that she could destroy precious Elena Gilbert in the process.

"But I'm a witch without that what am I?" Bonnie asked them with tears in her eyes. After she became a witch she lost who she once was and she wasn't sure if she could ever find the girl she once was again.

"We don't love you because you're a witch," Kol replied, running a hand across her face in a loving way.

"Have we ever once asked you to use your powers for us?" Rebekah asked her.

Bonnie thought back to her time with the two Originals before replying. "No."

"And yet, Elena who claims to care about you more than we do has you exhausting yourself with magic for her and her vampire boy toys," Rebekah said, tossing a deadly glance to Elena.

"Elena's existence has caused the death of so many people. Supernatural and human alike and it will keep happening. We have to make it stop. We can't have any more people dying for her or because of her. Her life isn't more important than the life of others," Kol said to Bonnie and he took a hold of Elena's wrist, bringing it towards his mouth biting into it.

Bonnie watched as the blood oozed from the wound on her friends wrist as it smeared itself over Kol's face and dripped down onto her clean white sheets. She casted a glance to her friends face but she still looked the same, dazed and confused.

"We can't let any more innocent blood be spilt because of her," Rebekah whispered in her ear as Bonnie watched Kol drink from Elena's wrist.

Kol lifted his mouth from Elena's wrist, her blood smeared all over his mouth and his eyes were surrounded by dark veins. He dropped her wrist and gently pulled Bonnie to him.

"Do you want a taste?" He whispered, so close to her face she could smell the blood. It smelt so tantalising, like the finest wine and every time she could get closer to his face he would move back just a tiny bit to tease her. "Do you want a taste?" he repeated in a heated whisper.

Bonnie nodded her head and moved in but he once again moved back. "Tell me," he commanded and his tongue came out to lick some of the blood off his lips. "You need to say it, Bonnie." His voice dropped back down to a whisper.

"I want to taste it," Bonnie whispered, her voice made it sound like she was in a trance, a trance that both Kol and Rebekah understood as they had both been in that very same position.

"Then have at it," he replied and brought Bonnie's face to his.

Kol couldn't help but smile when Bonnie kissed him and her tongue tentatively licked the blood off his mouth. The moan the she let out when the blood touched her tongue was unlike anything he'd ever heard out of her before. He wanted to hear it again.

"Do you want some more?" Kol asked her once his lips were clean from blood.

Bonnie's eyes were closed as she tried to saviour the lingering taste of blood and she nodded her head. "I want more."

Kol once again grabbed Elena's wrist and filled his mouth with blood before throwing it down and connecting his mouth with Bonnie's, the blood flowing from his mouth into hers.

The female Original had never seen something so beautiful in her life, a single drop a blood sliding down the soon to be vampires neck and down her chest. She couldn't stop herself from leaning over and licking up the tiny trail of blood.

Bonnie pulled away from the two Originals, clutching her mouth as she let out sounds of pain. "What's happening?" she cried out, holding her mouth.

Both Originals sat back and watched in awe as dark veins began to appear around Bonnie's eyes and her teeth began to sharpen into a pair of blood stained fangs.

"She looks beautiful," Rebekah commented with her still awestruck expression.

Bonnie looked from the two vampires in front of her until she looked to Elena's still bleeding wrist.

Blood.

That's all she wanted right now. More blood.

She didn't even recognise that the blood belonged to her oldest friend; she just wanted it so badly.

Rebekah, noticing Bonnie, turned to her brother. "Brother, I think it is time to remove your compulsion on dear Elena," she said with a smirk, her own fangs starting to descend.

"Time to come back to us, Elena," Kol said to her with a faux sweet voice.

Elena slowly came out of her compulsion, looking around the room. Confusion taking over her when she noticed that she was in Bonnie's room. She let out a hiss of pain when she noticed the tear in her wrist and nearly screaming in shock when she saw Kol and Rebekah staring at her like she was dinner.

And she was.

"Bonnie?" she breathed in shock when she noticed her friend sitting between the Originals and when she noticed the veins and fangs. "What's going on?" she asked her voice weak and scared.

Kol moved from his spot next to Bonnie to sit behind Elena, moving her hair away from her shoulders and lowering his mouth to her neck, never looking away from Bonnie who was watching every single move he made.

"Bonnie, what happened?" Elena asked.

"What happened is your boy toys killed Bonnie to save you," Kol snidely remarked. "Luckily she had my blood in her system when she died."

Elena let out a shocked gasp. Damon and Stefan told her that Bonnie had been murdered by that hunter.

"I didn't know. They told me that he murdered you. I'm so sorry Bonnie," Elena cried and tried to reach for her friend but her hand was pulled back by Kol.

Rebekah moved in closer to Bonnie and whispered in her ear so Elena couldn't hear. "She's lying. She knew what happened. And it's going to keep happening unless we do something."

Bonnie let out a tiny whimper when Rebekah had scraped her fangs across her ear as she whispered into it.

"I am so sorry, Bonnie," Elena said again but before she could say anything else Kol had used his fangs to tear open her neck, letting the blood flow out of it and causing Elena to let out a pained scream.

Bonnie stared at the blood as if it were a fountain of water she had stumbled across in the middle of the desert. She looked to Kol who sent her an encouraging smile before he lent down and licked up some of the blood.

"Bonnie, please don't do this," Elena begged with tears in her eyes as Bonnie moved closer to her. "I'm so, so sorry for what happened to you but you don't need to do this."

"Yes, she does," Kol whispered into her ear before covering her mouth with his hand.

Kol watched eagerly as Bonnie leant her head down to Elena's neck and licked up some of the blood. He moved his hand from Elena's mouth and brought it to the back of her hand, entangling it in her hair.

Elena had been whimpering as Bonnie lapped up the blood on her neck and let out a piercing screen when her new fangs tore into her neck and began to drink her blood like it was water. "Bonnie, please don't do this," she begged again and more tears fell when she felt Kol's fangs pierce the other side of her neck, drinking her blood just as eagerly as Bonnie.

Elena opened her mouth to speak again but was cut off by Rebekah. "Hush up now, love," she said before sinking her teeth into the wrist Kol hadn't bitten into.

With the three of them feeding from her, Elena was fading fast. Just another few more mouthfuls and she would be gone…

Should I leave this as a one shot or continue it?

I can't say that I am overly happy with the end result of this but it was just a little something that came to me while I was listening to 'Never Let Me Go' by Florence + the Machine… Loved it? Hated it?

Bonnie was a little OOC at the end what with feeding from Elena and all but I acknowledge that so pretty please don't complain/flame that she was OOC.

I apologise for any mistakes.

I also apologise to Elena fans…

Please review and tell me what you think!
